3. Clarify Status

  • Explain what status badges and messages mean
  • Example: "Queued" → "Waiting to be Written"

4. Use Friendly Tone

  • "Let's get started" instead of "Configure"
  • Make the interface conversational

5. Add Micro-Explanations

  • One-line helper text on key elements
  • Tooltips for complex concepts

6. Action-Oriented Labels

  • "Write Articles" not "Writer Module"
  • Focus on what users will accomplish

7. Number + Meaning

  • "39% Used - You have 61% left" not just "39%"
  • Always provide context for percentages and numbers

8. Tooltip Helpers

  • Hover explanations for complex concepts
  • Help users understand without cluttering the interface

9. Simple Descriptions

  • Use active voice and clear actions
  • Avoid passive construction

10. Progressive Disclosure

  • Hide advanced features but make them discoverable
  • Don't overwhelm new users

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

What to Change

  • All user-facing text in the frontend

Testing Approach

  1. Review each page against this plan
  2. Ensure all text matches the intended user-friendly tone
  3. Verify tooltips appear correctly
